Hyams Beach

This was a last minute booking and I was able to book this smoothly within hours of checking in. The hotel is nicely located with a grocery store, pharmacy and restaurants within 3 minutes walking distance. It is close to public transport - within walking distance on a main road to Central station, buses and light rail. I had a room booked for 1 night which was clean, modern, with good amenities - robe, slippers, tea & coffee & various selections for the minibar. I utilized the kettle for my tea, appreciated this immensely! I ended up extending my stay for 4 nights - but switched rooms due to availability. The only suggestion I have is for plugs to be upgraded to include USB/UBC outlets for easy charging ports near the bed and at the built in table. Upgraded lighting around the bathroom mirror would make a noticeable difference and I’m not sure there was a separate fan for the bathroom so got quite steamy during showering! All hotels I have stayed at for this price point have had a clear fan system for bathrooms. Safe for solo travelers! Would stay here again. Note ** The rooftop pool and bar were closed for the winter season so was unable to access these amenities despite the weather being warm and pleasant.

Basic budget hotel with a few nice added amenities, rooms clean and functional, friendly and helpful staff, convenient location in downtown Sydney.
